More about Sam

  • 4 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

I am a licensed therapist in the UK with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with LGBTQ+ related issues, relationships, trauma, abuse, eating disorders and neurodiversity conditions such as Autism and ADHD.

My therapeutic approach involves using what issues the client brings to the session and guiding them accordingly which ultimately gives them autonomy on how to solve the problem. I can also be directive in nature where needed asking questions and employing techniques to help manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and PTSD. This can be through conversation, written work or practical demonstrations.

I have worked extensively in the criminal justice system and in the community with survivors of trauma. I will always be honest on how much I can help you and enable you to make the best decision on whether I am the right fit for you.

Thankyou for reading and speak soon ,

Sam :)

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
